Taxidermy gone Bad

Bad science meets bad taxidermy!
So, what do you get when you mix ill-advised genetic meddling and piss-poor taxidermy skills? The hideous Yellow-faced Salmopike, of course, which looks to be a Chinook x Northern Pike hybrid mounted by a 2-year-old hopped up on baby Motrin.
Many thanks to reader Ross Dollarhide, who spotted this dandy and snapped the pic. If you’re like me — a lover of really crappy mounts, be sure to click here to see more fine examples of Taxidermy Gone Bad.

I'm not sure if he's laughing or about to eviscerate somebody!
This fine piece of Taxidermy Gone Bad comes to us from field scout and Nor Cal river guide, Tony Sepulveda, who stumbled onto it in an antique furniture store in San Francisco’s Mission District. Sadly, the management was pretty proud of the vile wall hanging and it was out of his price range…but that’s good new for you: It’s still available!

It’s been awhile since I stumbled onto some Taxidermy Gone Bad, but I found this gem a few days back. It seems that rainbow trout and steelies, two of the world’s most vibrant creatures, are particularly vulnerable to bad mount jobs…it’s just not that easy to recreate the color schemes these fish sport when alive. Mix that with a few decades up on the wall, plenty of exposure to fluorescent lighting and a 1/4-inch of dust …and PRESTO!…you’ve got a trout that is either coming down with the flu or looks like he was maybe swallowed up and cast solid in the ash flowing down from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.

Trout...tastes just like cicken liver!
You know I love bad taxidermy, so I couldn’t resist snapping a quick pic of this dandy piece of craftsmanship hanging in the Tackle Box Cafe at Lake Amador in Northern California.
Well, at least we now know what’s killing the trout at Amador…

It’s been awhile since I’ve run into some really lousy taxidermy, but when I do it often comes in spurts. Such was the case in a little Nor Cal pizza joint the other night….when I lucked into these two fine specimen…on the same wall!
I was immediately torn as to which one to include in our always popular Taxidermy Gone Bad section, so I decided I’d let these two toads go at it in our first ever Steel Cage match. Check out the contenders and then vote for the winner below!

You guys know by now that I’m always on the lookout for “Taxidermy Gone Bad” and, I’m pleased to announce, we’ve got a couple nice new additions to the collection here. I especially like this lingcod head…a wonderful blend of creepy, strange and more than a dash of disturbing.
But wait, there’s more!

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of really bad fish mounts and this one, sent in by regular FishwithJD reader Rod Vin Steel, is a dandy! I’m not sure what the skunk has to do with anything, but it certainly adds to the appeal here…
Apparently, there’s a lot more where this came from:
“Just in case you’ve haven’t been in to Fosters Bighorn in Rio Vista, CA, you can have a lot of eye balls watching you eat lunch,” says Vin Steel. Click here to see more Taxidermy Gone Bad!
